I have questions about registration.
Click on the titles below to expand for more information.
-
What age does my child need to be for kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year?
To be age eligible for Kindergarten, your child will need to turn 5 by September 1, 2025.
-
What if I registered in February?
If you took advantage of Kindergarten registration in February, you do not need to register again.
However, if you are a current family and used the New Student Registration to register only your kindergarten student, then you will need to use the Existing Student Registration to register the rest of your children. Most likely the registration will also list your kindergarten student, it is okay to complete the registration with them on there.
Note: when in the Online Registration section of Campus Parent, you will see progress updates under New and Existing Student Registration. If your Existing Student Registration shows the progress as completed, you can review a PDF version of your submitted application. If you are missing a student, you can use the New Student Registration.
-
Why do I need to register every year?
We need to confirm that your child is returning so that we can plan our transportation so that we are ready for the first day of school, retain and hire the right number of teachers, and create our class lists.
Also, in our application there are required parent sign-offs. Without them, your child may not be able to participate in summer camps, including sports.
School District U-46 also requires current and up-to-date residency documentation on file for each student. You may be required to turn in updated documents and forms.
Kindergarten, 6th, 9th and 12th grade students require physicals and/or immunization updates. Please visit our Health Services website for more information.

My child's other parent does not show on the application.
When you first enroll your student, we ask for both parents' names to be added to the application. If the other parent's name was not added, or marked as not living in the household, they will not be listed in the application in future applications since they are not a member of your primary household. This does not mean that they have been removed as a parent, or a guardian. Only household members appear in the parent and student section of our annual registration.
When completing an application for a current student, parents will not be able to add new parents to the application.
If the parent was left off by mistake, please contact your child's school to let them know the other parent needs to be added.
If they are noted as living separately, the other parent should create their own Infinite Campus Parent account. When they log in and go to the More tab, and then to Family Information, they will find themselves listed with the students. They can review their phone number, email and home address-if provided originally. They will also see themselves noted as a guardian. If changes need to be made to their information, they should contact the school. They should not worry if they are not listed on the current school year application, they already exist.
PLEASE NOTE: do not add stepparents as guardians unless they have been granted legal custody. They do not automatically have guardianship rights of stepchildren unless we have court documentation. Stepparents can be listed in the same household, but not as a guardian. They can be a priority emergency contact.
-
What school will my child attend?
Students are assigned to schools based on their home address.
Not sure what school your child should attend? Please use our searchable database here, just enter your address and follow the instructions. If you prefer, use our interactive map.
